Documentary Wedding Video
Using a tiny video camera attached to myself (while photographing) I record what I see.
Examples
Different from traditional Wedding Videography
This is an optional add-on service for my Wedding Photography services. There is NO posing or setups, and NO pretty cinematic effects or music. Instead, I capture video snippets throughout a wedding day of all the fun, upfront & behind-the-scenes action, and MUCH more!
FAQ’s
What do you mean by add-on service?
I can only offer this service to couples where I am the official Wedding Photographer, as an optional add-on to my packages. The reason is it’s only possible because I am actually attaching a tiny video camera to myself, and using it while I am taking all of the normal wedding photographs on the day.How is this video service different to traditional Wedding Videography?
You will receive unique vision from a perspective that only I see. As the official Wedding Photographer I am always in the best and most privileged of positions, and I witness up close all the fun, action, drama and so much more! Traditional Wedding Videography is more choreographed, posed, and setup, and it’s delivered in a more curated and film-like fashion, often set to romantic music.Do you record the full wedding ceremony?
No, only some snippets where possible. This is because I am 100% focused on photographing your wedding, and that task remains absolutely paramount. Filming the entire ceremony requires larger video cameras (usually placed on tripods), and audio microphones attached to the couples/celebrant. All of that needs to be constantly monitored by a dedicated operator and thus is costly..What about privacy?
As with the wedding photographs I take, I do not record anything inappropriate, and I always respect privacy. Additionally, all the editing afterwards is done by myself in my own office here in Melbourne, and is never seen by anyone else. I do not outsource my editing to places in India or China like so many other wedding photographers/videographers do these days. Thus your privacy is fully protected.Do you record every single moment that happens?
Unfortunately no, that is impossible because weddings are filled with thousands of moments, and I can’t be everywhere at the same time. It’s important to remember that I am giving my 100% focus to the wedding photography, and I turn on the video camera attached to me only when possible.Do we get a highlight reel set to music?
No. Instead what you get is a set of video snippets. These are included with all the wedding photos you get in a FREE ‘Digital Wedding Album’ that I give to every couple, and is accessible on any device to view and share as you wish (password protected).How many video snippets do we get?
This will largely depend on how many hours I am at your wedding and what is going on. As a ballpark figure I anticipate you will get at least a dozen or so snippets,What is the cost?
$750.
